Number of passion fruits that Ivan used
=
47 x 119
= 68
Number of passion fruits that Ivan had left
= 119 - 68
= 51
Number of pomegranates that Ivan used
=
37 x 168
= 72
Number of pomegranates that Ivan had left
= 168 - 72
= 96
Fraction of the fruits left that were pomegranates
= 1 -
17=
67 Number of passion fruits left = 1 u = 51
Number of pomegranates left in the end
= 6 u
